5.00This was a fantastic experience! Jhonatan was the best guide - his passion for astronomy and conserving the planet was truly inspiring and made the experience even more special and meaningful 🥹 I will never forget seeing the rings of Saturn in the telescope for the first time! Truly a once in a lifetime experience. Worth every penny. Thank you Jhonatan!!!!!

5.00"The Roofless" is a very well curated small group experience. Whether you're interest is primarily getting a great photograph of the stars, a thoughtful explanation of the constallations or some up close experience with one of the two powerful telescopes used to examine the sky - you won't be disappointed. Add to all of it a nice glass of wine (or tea, coffee or hot chocolate), a variety of tasty nibbles and warm cozy blanket and you have the total package for a memorable evening gazing at the incomparable Chilean desert sky.

5.00Amazing experience! Our favorite tour in San Pedro de Atacama (we booked 4 total). They limit to max 12 people, and have 2 telescopes so you get plenty of viewing time. Tour included professional photos, a glass of wine, and charcuterie board. Also had blankets. Tour guide was very knowledgeable and passionate.
One of the best tours I have ever joined
